Top 10 Watches to Stay Home With

All around the world, COVID-19 has people staying home under self-quarantine. Days stretch into one another and we somehow lose all track of time.  Sleep isn’t easy to come by and sometimes we forget about normal routines. Sometimes, we don’t even get out of our pajamas until noon. For those who are typically gym nuts, walking, running or swimming have become the new exercises of choice. Luckily for us, today’s top watch brands offer a host of functions in their timepieces that can help us out during isolation. Here, we take a look at the top 10 watches to stay at home with.

Tudor Heritage Advisor – $6,060

Sister brand to Rolex, Tudor has been making watches since 1926. This nearly 100-year history makes it a go-to timepiece for many a watch lover.  We like the Tudor Heritage Advisor as one of our top 10 watches to stay home with because it has a great function built into it: an alarm. This 42mm automatic steel and titanium watch features an alarm on/off indication window. One needs only set the alarm — using the red arrow hand — via the crown at 2:00 on the case. Then, using the pusher at 4:00, turn the alarm function on. This useful alarm feature can help remind you when you have to start cooking dinner or make a dreaded run to the grocery store.TUDOR Heritage Advisor

It can also track your altitude … just in case you’re scaling a mountain. Other useful functions include a barometer, temperature indication, and the much-needed compass so you don’t get lost.  Of course, it also offers call and message notifications. It is water resistant to 100 meters in case you plan to jump in a lake to cool off.Alpina ALPINERX

Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph Limited Edition – $30,000

Let’s face facts: if you’re worried about having COVID-19, you may want to be able to time your heartbeat so you can let your doctor know what the rate is when you get on that teleconference with him or her.  This limited edition Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph watch is the perfect doctor’s watch – graduated for 30 pulsations. To calculate heart rate, you use the chronograph to start timing in conjunction with the scale on the outer edge of the dial. Simply start the chronograph timer and count the beats until you get to 30. Stop the timer and your heart rate is shown on the scale in beats per minute. Besides helping you figure out your heart rate, you’ll look pretty professional with this particular complicated watch.Montblanc Heritage Pulsograph Limited Edition

Eberhard & CO. Chrono 4 Grande Taille – $6,510

One of the most easily identifiable watches, this Eberhard Chrono Chrono 4 Grande Taille is a chronograph watch that is used to time events or intervals of time– such as how long it takes your kids to do their homework during this home-schooling time frame.

It offers a world time indication, map of the world, and 24-time zone indication in addition to hours and minutes.
